(Guns blazing? Interesting choice of words for a Mage who was distracted by an iPod of all things...)
Reinforce gives Mozenrath a sidelong glance, "One of my knights once said 'never negotiate for peace while carrying a spear'. Even given my... reduced nature here, my power will probably set off any wards this Howl should have installed, more than enough to ruin subterfuge... Give me the coordinates of the girl, and my Seekers will search for the target. If you can fly, we'll then move to engage... Unless you have a better suggestion..?"
She paused, turning over her shoulder to pin the Cheshire Cat with her gaze, "Cat. If I am able, I will meet you on top of the Opera roof at midnight to share my experiences and continue our bargain should you find more leads like this one."

((Ah, well, not as if the Aladdin universe canon doesn't throw anachronisms around like free confetti anyway...))
Mozenrath was far from thrilled with being ordered around, and he particularly disliked being described as if he was some resource for others to parcel out. The implication that the cat had somehow conjured him up at a whim...
He narrowed his eyes in the creature's direction, mentally promising to deal with it in some...satisfactory method. Later, of course. Once other more important matters had been dealt with.
"If it's all the same to you," he began, focus shifting back to Reinforce, "I don't believe I'll join you at the actual location for the...first wave of your 'siege'." There was noticable dryness to his tone in punctuation to this comment.
"Perhaps our cause is better suited if I waited for you elsewhere. A reserve, of sorts, until we see how you do, and can more properly gauge the capabilities of our mutual enemy. Of course," he added reassuringly, "I'll be certain to observe you from affair. The better to...swoop in," a faint smirk curled his features, "should my immediate assistance be necessary."

Still perched on Kim's shoulder, the cat gave Reinforce a mocking salute.
"Oh, I'll be there," it said. "If you need me."

(As it is written, so let it be... hilarious!)
Interesting. It fit with his fear of this Howl... And did free her up to use her wide area burst spells. Starlight Breaker should be particularly nasty if the fight dragged out longer than expected...
Reinforce gave the Cat a brief measuring glance before focusing on Mozenrath. "That is your choice," she allowed flatly, "It was merely a suggestion to maximize our first strike... Coordinates, please?"

Making his gauntlet into a fist Mozenrath concentrated on the water orb, which once more began to glow red. The image within it was obscured, replacing it with a series of complex figures and calculations that moved too fast for the average eye to see, no doubt incomprehensible to one unskilled in the reading of magic.
"I assume you can decipher that," Mozenrath said with a tauntingly good-natured tone, "or shall I write it down?"

"No. It's simple enough after scanning your Glamour," returned the whaite-haired mage, translating the crudely-coded, in her eyes anyway, matrix of eldritch symbols, dismissing the possiblity of the gauntlet being a Sentient Device after seeing the irregularities in his spellcraft, "And... that'll be enough."
She turned on one heel with a snap of her trenchcoat and made her way for the exit, orbited by the quartet of Seeker Drones, black wings passing through the foyer plants and one hapless individual who failed to get out of Reinforce's way in time.
(Exit stage left and continue in the Howl's Moving Castle region...)

"And people say I have a flair for the dramatic! Well. Come, Xerxes..."
Mozenrath chortled to himself, grasping his cloak as he prepared to teleport himself and his familiar after her.
"Let's go watch the fun."

As soon as the first mystical being had stalked off, and the second had made himself scarce in a flourish of dark blue sparkles, the foyer was noticably less crowded.
Also, in the cat's humble opinion, far more dull. This would never do.
"What do you ladies say to a meal, on me?" it offered its two companions with a characteristic grin.

She cast her eyes briefly over the girl, but decided that the inconvenience of her presence would be worth it for the cat's.
"I would be honoured to accept such an invitation," she told it.

Kim didn't know about sitting down to a meal with the redhead, but she liked Cat and didn't really want him out of her sight yet.
"That would be wonderful."

((So, any preference for where the cat takes you? Or would you rather leave it up to me?))

((I was contemplating that...I don't think she's open for business yet, though, technically. Of course, that could lead to some more plot all its own...))

((Away we go, then!)) "Well then, since we're all amiable to it..." The cat jumped down and began walking at a speed that somehow managed to make it seem like it was strolling along in no hurry, yet still necessiated some jogging in order to catch up. "Follow me."
